Question

I am preparing a festival site. I have a table with a datetime field for the festival dates.
Festival will be in between “6 / March / 2013″ and ” 7 / April / 2013″.
So I created the loop as in these answer here :

Schema::create('dates',function($table)
        {
            $table->increments('id');
            $table->date('date');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
        $starting_date = new DateTime('2013-03-06');
        $ending_date = new DateTime('2013-04-06');

        $interval = DateInterval::createFromDateString('1 day');
        $period = new  DatePeriod($starting_date , $interval, $ending_date);

        foreach($period as $dt)
        {

        DB::table('dates')->insert(array(
        'date' => $dt
        ));

        }

The database is filled until 4th of april , the loop does not add more than 30 days.
Can you help me to find a fix for missing days ?

ps: I used alternative while loop resulting same:

    $starting_date = new DateTime('2013-03-06');        
            $ending_date = new DateTime('2013-04-07');

            while($starting_date <= $ending_date){
                DB::table('dates')->insert(array(
                    'date' => $starting_date
                ));

            }
    $starting_date->add(new DateInterval('P1D'));
}

Answer 1

just add 23:59:59 to the end of the $ending_date
$starting_date = new DateTime('2013-03-06 00:00');
$ending_date = new DateTime('2013-04-06 23:59:59');


$interval = new DateInterval('P1D');
$period = new  DatePeriod($starting_date , $interval, $ending_date);
foreach ($period as $date) {
    echo $date->format('Y-m-d')."<br/>";
}
print_r($period);exit;

Which outputs

2013-03-06
